Bernier Takes Large Lead

Maxime Bernier has taken a firm lead of the Conservative leadership field, now that Kevin O’Leary is out of the running.

Mainstreet reached 1,004 Conservative Party of Canada members from April 29 to 30 and found, with a margin of error of +/- 3.09 per cent, 19 times out of 20, that Bernier is members’ first choice, followed by Andrew Scheer at 22 per cent.
